I'm a little more restrained than some on this thread, even managed to cut down from 3 pairs of pads to 1 and down to 2 pairs of gloves over the winter too.
Bat Redback Paradox premium £145
Gloves SS Gladiator pro £25 - picked up for me by a work colleague who had a trip out to India recently
Pads Adidas adipure £0 - won from pro direct cricket on twitter
Thigh pad Aero p2's £0 - won from compare sports kit
Helmet Ayrtek premier titanium £95 - from IJC about two years ago
Bag Slazenger v360 duffle about £40
Spikes Asics strike rate £30
Total £335, not including whites, caps and other bits of stuff as I tend to pick that type of thing up cheaply off ebay or in sales. Only the gloves and pads are new for this year, if I'd not won the adidas pads then I'd have carried on using my dewberry thruxtons from last year that I sold on here a while ago.
I've bought and sold a fair amount of stuff on here and on ebay over the last 3 years but have been lucky enough to win quite a bit of free kit so I'd guess I've recouped quite a lot of what I've spent.
